On this week’s episode of the Norah and Dad Show, we talked about what Delta Zeta has come to mean to her, and I couldn’t help but smile listening to her. Greek life was never my thing, but I’m genuinely glad it’s hers. She’s found her people—and not just a social circle, but a group that aligns with who she is. That includes their focus on speech and hearing advocacy, which fits her empathy and curiosity (and maybe even career goals) to a tee. It’s one thing to join an organization; it’s another to find one that sharpens your perspective and pushes you to care more deeply about issues that matter. This one does both for her, and it shows.
Norah and I covered a range of other topics, including food poisoning, a preview of her upcoming trip to New York City, travel horror stories (including Times Square on New Year’s Eve and a very questionable museum couch), and speed traps. You can listen via Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music, Overcast, your browser, and everywhere else you get your podcasts.
